Yogi Berra is no longer around, but one of his witticisms — "It' s deja vu allover again" — has never been more apt. This time, though, it's not at all funny.

All over again, the hard right is threatening a government shutdown. All over again, the American people face the prospect of collapsing consumer confidence, stock market meltdown and national humiliation as Republican right-wingers seriously contemplate defaulting on Ame r i ca' s debt. Lasttime, they at least had

excuse.

S hould t h i s sortofdrama be replayed,which House Speaker John Boehner's resignation makes increasingly likely, the public would once again blame mainstream Republicans for not curbing the tantrum wing of their party — and the GOP could kiss the 2016 presidential election goodbye.

That may sound like a good thing for the Democrats, but must the entire nation suffer in the process? As in those dreams of frustration, we'd find ourselves stuck back on a bus with a mad political minority at the wheel.

But youknow, these people aren't wrong about everything. Anger over Wall Street's grip on Washington is widely shared. If Republican primary voters haven't taken kindly to hedge fund titans throwing Jeb Bush $100,000-a-plate fundraisers, that's understandable. Amid Donald Trump's Niagara Falls of stupid verbiage come well-placed denunciations of tax breaks for private equity moguls.

However, there's something truly creepy in hearing the newly empowered tea party "leaders" relish in their power to punish. And is it too much to ask that they learn the meaning of "full faith and credit of the United States" — and its import to the country's well-being?

The tea party agitators might also look into the reality of government programs that benefit their many elder comrades.

No, Medicare isn't manna from heaven (Exodus 16).

And no, few beneficiaries paid for what they get. Most Medicare spending comes out of taxpayer subsidies.

You will not hear these people called conservatives here. The Republican Party of my father valued stability and sound fiscal stewardship. My dad opposed what he considered high taxes and unnecessary regulation, but he felt no need to despise Democrats, a group that included his wife.

You will not hear the tea party hotheads called patriots, either. They can wear hats and quote the Founding Fathers out of context all day long. In reality, they don't seem to like their country much. America is a much bigger place than the sliver that stares back at them in their narrow mirrors.

The business community is already bracing. What it needs is basic stuff — restoration of the ExportImport Bank, a U.S. highway system in decent repair and NO repeat of the debt ceiling fiasco of 2011. The Republican hard-line right promises none of it.

Its assumption may be that grown-ups will appear at the last minute — all over again — and pull America out of the fire of a devastating default on U.S. debt. But some tea partyers undoubtedly believe at the bottom of their hearts that default would be no big deal.

Even though adults did pull the country through that human-made crisis, America was not left whole.

Standard & Poor's stripped the U.S. of its triple-A credit rating. This ordeal and budget cliffhangers that followed continue to drag on the American economy, according to 77 percent of the economists surveyed last month by The Wall Street Journal.

The most frightening part isn't what the rightwingers want to do. It's that they want to do it all over again. Equally scary, the Republican mainstream, unable to contain them last time, may be even more powerless this time.

GUEST COLUMN

I'm going to miss Speaker Boehner I am going to miss John Boehner as speaker of the House. The GOP looks like the fun party with its ring-a-ding leader and his dash of Dean Martin.

Boehner even sauntered into his resignation news conference Friday while crooning, "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-decay. My oh my,what a wonderful day."

The speaker chose not to cling to power but to walk away without compromising his supporters.

"Why do I want to make my members, Republican members, walk the plank?"

Boehner explained on "Face the Nation" Sunday. The son of a barkeep wants to avoid a government shutdown — also known as another government shutdown. He knew his effort to thwart a kamikaze mission could invite his party' s "knuckle draggers," as he calls them, to challenge his leadership. Republicans who stood by Boehner then might face a primary challenge.

Boehner knew his perch was precarious; he likened being speaker to trying to keep218 frogs in a wheelbarrow. So ratherthan fi ght,Boehner,65,shrugged.

His is not so much an Ayn Randian Atlas shrug as it is what Politico's Glenn

I think President Barack Obama will miss Boehner more than I. The softy speaker,after all,fellfor Obama's ruse about wanting to reach across the aisle to cut a grand bargain.

I am going to miss the speaker who got rid of earmarks — pet pork-barrel spending — out of conviction, even though it made it harder for him to impose discipline among his ranks. I am going to miss the barkeep's son who didn't believe in fighting for the sake of fighting. He didn't go for destructive stunts like the 2013 government shutdown championed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. After that house of cards collapsed, he hoped tea party members would see that shuttering the government is a losing tactic. As he said Sunday, "have the courage to do what you can do.It's easy to have the courage to do what you can't do."

Thrush called an "'I'm just playing the cards I' ve been dealt,' nicotine-induced zen" shrug.

I am going to miss the era of smokefilled rooms and chain-smoking power brokers. Boehner's likely replacement — Kevin McCarthy, 50, of Bakersfield, California — has a West Coast sensibility. McCarthy leads his fellow R's on early-morning mountain bike rides when the House is in session.

(I learned on "Face the Nation" that Boehner does yoga, but not, I presume, while caucusing.)

I am going to miss those basset hound eyes that shed endless sentimental tears. I am going to miss that orangy mug. It takes a tough man to tinge his skin the same tint as Arnold Schwarzenegger's hair.

Killer bees found in SF for first time LAFAYETTE — Africanized honeybees, known as killerbees because of their swarming, aggressive and deadly nature when a colony is threatened, have made their way to the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time, researchers say.

The bees have been spotted in Lafayette near Briones Regional Park by UC San Diego researchers who have been tracking their movement in the state, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday.

The bees had previously been seen only as far north as Mariposa County.

Joshua Kohn, a professor of biology at UC San Diego, said it is hard to tell at this point how many of the bees are in the San Francisco area.

Kohn said honeybees normally forage within about a mile of their hive, though they can go up to about 5 miles.

The Africanized honeybee is a hybrid of the European bee and the African bee.

without fielding a candidate of their own.

"I know what's going on across the country, and I'm concerned about what we hear," McCarthy told report ers. 'We want to make sure

thatwe're closertothepeople, that they feel this is their government, they' re in charge and we serve them.

"Now, that's not easy, and it won't change overnight. But that's our mission."

McCarthy spoke as the contesttoreplace him as majority leader turned volatile, with some Republicans announcing they wanted to draft Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of the special panel investigating the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, attacks, and Hillary Clinton.

Asked whether they have visited Charamuga Ranch, where residents say they believe the Butte Hre started under apower line that crosses their property, none of the attorneys said they have been there.

Bill and Aileen Charamuga, both 86 and married since October 1949, said Tuesday at their ranch they have not been interviewed by any investigators. The Union Democratreported Sept. 18 the Charamugas are convinced the Butte Fire ignited nine days earlier in a l ocation near their home just ofF Butte Mountain Road.

The group calling themselves Butte Fire Lawyers said they have two attorneys, Tom Tosdal and Terry Singleton, who were selected to be the lead trial counsel on behalf of all plaintiffs in power line cases against San Diego Gas and Electric in the destructive Witch, Guejito and Rice Canyon blazes in 2007.

The Witch Fire resulted in two fatal ities and destroyed 1,650structures,according to Cal Fire.

Georgia's only woman on death row executed ATLANTA (AP) — After severaldenied appeals Georgia has executed its only female death row inmate.

Kelly Renee Gissendaner died by lethal injection of pentobarbital Wednesday at 12:21 a.m. at the state prison in Jackson. She was convicted of murder in the February 1997 slaying of her husband. She conspired with her lover, who stabbed Douglas Gissendaner to death.

Gissendaner's lawyers last Thursday submitted a second

"Insurance companies have a specific model," RatinofF said. "They collect premiums and deny claims. Does that mean that all claims are denied? No. But through diminution of value, they' re very sophisticated about how they keep claims down. They' ve been doing it not for years, for generations."

RatinofF also told people at the meeting they can be confident insurance companies are planning their own litigation against PG&E to recover whatever they have topayout to their insured clients who sufFered losses in the Butte Fire.

Michael Feinberg of the Butte Fire Lawyers also emphasized his group has no intention of filing a class action.

"We will specifically file individual actions on behalf of all our clients," Feinberg said Tuesday night in a phone interview. "We will not file a class action under any circumstances."

"We will respond to this lawsuit in the normal legal process. As we' ve said since September 16, we are cooperating fully with Cal Fire in its investigation on the source of the ignition for the Butte fire.

"We want to reassure our customers that we at PG&E take the risk of wildfires very seriously and are focused on doing everything possible to mitigate the risk of fire during this drought."

Jackson and John Airola told people at the meeting 'There is power in numbers."

"There are going to be peoplewho proposeclassactions," Jackson said. "You want to avoid that like the plague. We promise we' re going to treat each case individually, prosecutedas a mass tort,to put you back whole like you were beforethe fire."

Pope Francis' diplomatic representative in the U.S., Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, on Tuesday sent a letter to theparole board on behalf of the pontifF asking for a commutation of G i ssendaner's sentence "to one that would better expressboth justiceand mercy." He cited an address the pope made to a joint session of Congress last week in which he called for the abolition of the death penalty.

Two of Gissendaner's three children already asked the board earlier this year to spare their mother's life. Her oldest child, Brandon, who had not previously addressed the board, wanted to make a plea for his mother's life, said Susan Casey, an attorney for Gissendaner.

In the request for reconsideration, Gissendaner's lawyers citeda statement from former Georgia Supreme Court Chief

in 70 years.

The United States Supreme court denied Gissendaner, 47, three stays of execution on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court of Georgia also denied her a stay of execution Tuesday and the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles declined to grant her clemency after it met earlier on Tuesday to consider new testimony from supporters.

The board didn't give a reason forthe denial,butsaid ithad carefullyconsidered her requestforreconsideration.

Gissendaner was p reviously scheduled for execution Feb. 25, but that was delayed Justice Norman Fletcher, who becauseof a threat ofwinter argued Gissendaner's death weather.

more. But because insurers'

own investments are earning low interest rates, they have jacked up premiums for 5-percent inflation protection.

Our 55-year-oldman would pay $2,666 more per year, or $4,200, if he chose the 5-percent inflation adjustment insteadof 3 percent.'T hat cost differential is too drastic for most people," says Brian Gordon, president of MAGA Ltd., a long-term-care specialist in Riverwoods, Ill. • Shortening the benefit period saves money but probablywouldn'tprovide enough coverage for a degenerative condition, such as Alzheimer's. Couples can hedge their bets by buying a sharedbenefit policy. Instead of, say, a three-year benefit period each, they'd have a pool of six years to use between them.

Adding this benefit costs 15 percentto 22 percentmore.

• Extending the waiting periodcan also lower the premium, although you' ll have to pay thefullcostofcarebefore your insurance covers anything. Policies with a 90-day waiting period tend to offer a good balance, but look for a "calendar day" waiting period.

That starts the clock ticking as soon as you qualify for care, either because you need help with two activities of daily living or have cognitive impairment. A "service day" waiting period has the same benefit trigger but counts only the days you receive care. Some insurers, such as Genworth, charge about 15 percent extra for a policy with no waiting period for home care.

A few tweaks to your coverage can save thousands of dollars in premiums. The key is tobuy a policy that covers most, but not all, of the cost of care rather than a fully loadedpolicy."If the average daily cost of a home health aide is$113 and the cost of a private room in a nursing home is $195 a day," says Sam McPherson, a certified financial planner in Brookyn, N.Y., "I recommend covering $150 per day."

For example, a healthy 55-year-old man would pay nearly $6,870 per year for a Genworth policy that pays $200 per day for five years and increases the benefits by 5 percent compounded each year. The same 55-year-old man would pay only $1,534 per year for a Genworth policythatcovers $150 a day for three years with a 3-percent compound inflation adjustment. The l e ss-expensive Genworth policy would provide up to $164,250 in coverage (in today's dollars) when you multiply the daily benefit by thebenefitperiod.

• Reducing the inflation adjustment delivers the biggest savings. You need to have some inflation protection, especially if you buy coverage in your fifties or sixties and may not need care for 20 years or

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau hOuniondemocrat.corn

Is testosterone therapy worth the risk for men?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I a m a 62-year-old male who gets weekly testosterone injections. My semiannual bloodwork comes back fi ne.I have no sideeffects except that I lose my temper with people easier now. I have a littl e more energy and sex drive.

My doctor believes that since he has me on Arimidex to keep my estrogen level low, testosterone is not harmful to me. I wanted another opinion, since all I hear now is that testosterone supplements can cause increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Does the Arimidex make testosterone safer?

— J.H. ANSWER: Testosterone replacement treatment for men should be given only to men with consistently low testosterone levels and who have symptoms. The most common early symptoms in adult men are low energylevels,poorlibido and depressed mood. Later, other symptoms and signs, such as low muscle mass, anemia and osteoporosis, may occur. None of theseis specifi c for low testosterone levels, so it takes some judgment to begin treatment. Testosterone isn' t

ANSWER: Are you sure you really testosteronetreatment, nor any direct

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. Low estrogen seems to predispose peopleto increasing body fat.Anastrozole (Arimidex) is an aromatase inhibitor, and since aromatase is the enzyme that makes estrogen, anastrozole lowers estrogen levels, which is why it is indicated in women with estrogen-sensi tive breast cancers. In men, a trial of anastrozole without testosteroneshowed increased testosterone levels but no improvements in muscle strength or mass. With combined testost erone and anastrozole treatment,triglyceridelevelsdecrease (which may be why your doctor is recommending combination treatment), and testoster one levels are higher than with testosterone alone. Howev-

Today in history Today is Wednesday, September 30, the 273rd day of 2015. There are 92 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On September 30, 1955, actor James Dean, 24, was killed in a two-car collision near Cholame, California.

On this date: In 1846, Boston dentist William Morton used ether as an anesthetic for the first time as he extracted an ulcerated tooth from merchant Eben Frost.

In 1938, after co-signing the Munich Agreement allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said, "I believe it is peace for our time."

In 1939, the first college football game to be televised was shown on experimental station W2XBS in New York as Fordham University defeated Waynesburg College, 34-7.

In 1949, the Berlin Airlift came to an end.

In 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was escorted by federal marshals to the campus of the University of Mississippi, where he enrolled for classes the next day; Meredith's presence sparked rioting that claimed two lives. The National Farm Workers Association, founded by Cesar Chavez and a forerunner of the United Farm Workers, held its first meeting in Fresno, California.

In 1988, Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev retired President Andrei A. Gromyko from the Politburo and fired other oldguard leaders in a Kremlin shake-up.

In 1997, France's Roman Catholic Church apologized for its silence during the systematic persecution and deportation of Jews by the pro-Nazi Vichy regime.

Henry David Thoreau, an author and poet est who died in 1862, said, "It is not worth the 10 6 4 3 while to go round the world to count the cats J983 in Zanzibar."

I always thought that the key stat about 2 Zanzibar is that the whole population of the K8?2 world could stand on it. However, for a bridge player, this should become: It is worth the Q whileto count as much as you can on every 7 AK 6 5 deal. t AQ 6 53 The hard part, of course, is working out 4Q J6 what's critical to count.

Dealer: South South is in three no-trump. West leads a Vulnerable: Both fourth-highest club two. How should East S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t defend? ll Pass 14 Pass South's two-heart rebid was a reverse, Pass 3t Pass which promised a maximum opening and that 2V Pass Pa s s Pas s his hearts were shorter than his diamonds: 17- 3 NT 20 points and at least 4-5 in the red suits.

East needs to count declarer's hand distriOpening lead: 4 2 bution. West's lead promised a four-card suit, so South is known to have started with three clubs. Ergo, South probably has 1-4-5-3 distribution.

This should point East in the right direction. At trick two, he should shift to the spade king, just in case declarer has a singleton queen. Since East has diamonds under control, his side should be able to win five tricks before South collects nine. Even if West has the club king-jack, that suit can wait.

With the given layout, that's exactly how the deal works out. Declarer ducks a couple of spades, wins the third round with dummy's ace, and tries to run the diamonds.

When they don't break, he has to dislodge the club king to get out for down one.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: lf you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

S'ville volleyball beats Amador Summerville defeated Amador in three sets Tuesday night on the road in Sutter Creek.

The Bears won 25-19, 25-23 and 25-19.

Grace Fulkerson led the Bears with 12 kills and 13 digs, followed

by Claire Caldera with seven kills. Julian Craddock had a team-high 22 assists. Sarah Boyer had fives aces, while Allie Eveleth had four and 10 digs.

"We did great tonight," said Bears head coach Jennifer Osterhout. "We played at our level, and kept a lead most of the match.

It was awesome to see the teamwork, communication, and solid volleyball on the court tonight."

Summerville will host Calaveras on Thursday in Tuolumne.

He's OK with all that, just don't go mentioning anything about the Sixth Man of the Year Award.

"So, the sixth man, the position I don't have a problem with, but the award, it's not that it's not important, but being singled out, it's like affirmative action or something

like that to me," Iguodala said. "So, it's like, whatever."

The Warriors began training camp Tuesday with a tall task oftrying to repeat aAer the franchise captured its first title in 40 years.

The 31-year-old Iguodala, acquired in a trade from Denver on July 10, 2013, averaged 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 37 minutes on the way to Finals MVP honors. That included a 25-point performance in the Game 6 clincher against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Second-year coach Steve Kerr plans to stick with his starting l i neup, meaning Iguodala will be coming off the bench.

Bears soccer wins in final minute The Summerville Bears boys' soccer team defeated Amador with a last-minute goal from Trey PetersonWood.

The Bears got two goals from PetersonWood, and also got two goals from Braden Anderson. Ben Richardson scored the other goal for Summerville.

The Bears trailed 2-1 at the half, but battled back to tie the game at 4.

"It was a crazy game," said Summerville head coach Dave Reel. "We didn't have the lead until the very end. It was a tough game and Amador really made us work hard.

We didn't play our best, but we played good enough to win."

Summerville will host Calaveras on Thursday atThursted field at 7 p.m.

"It was a good challenge for them to stay focused and to remember where they had to go both o6ensively and defensively.

49ers'Brooksphadsnot guilty to semalbatiery SAN JOSE (AP) — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks has pleaded not guilty to sexual battery.

Brooks is accused of groping an unconscious woman during a late-night gathering at f ormer teammate

Ray McDonald's house in December.

A woman

claims she was intoxicated when she fell and hit her head on McDonald's hot tub before passing out.

The woman claims Brooks groped her and then McDonald raped her. McDonald pleaded not guilty to rape charges on Friday.

The woman filed a sexu-

al assault lawsuit against Brooks earlier this year.

McDonald was released by the 49ers. Brooks remains on the team and ap~ in a l l t hree games this year.

Brooks' attorney entered the plea in Santa Clara County Superior Court Tuesday. Brooks didn't attend the hearing.

Carr is using the depth of his receivers to spread defenses out more, as well. He is averaging 8.1 yards per pass attempt, which is 2.6 yards more than he did as a rookie.

Additionally, Carr has already completedthree passes of40 yards orlonger after doing it just seven times in 2014.

A second-round pick a year ago, Oakland's quarterback has shown his biggest improvement under pressure.

According to ProFootballFocus.corn, Carr has completed 73 percent ofhis passes (14 of 19) for 243 yards and two touchdowns when opposing defenses blitz. That works out to a quarterback rating of 150.7.

"He makes good decisions and he is accurate passing the football," Del Rio said. 'We just want to continue to grow that."

Kiran and Amish Patel say the 49ers had a responsibil ity to screen fans for intoxication and gang affiliation. The two cousins were attacked and seriously injured last October by two intoxicated men wearing gang symbols while waiting in line in the restroom,according to the lawsuit. The attack was recorded by a bystander.

The suit was filed last week and reported by the San Jose Mercury News on Tuesday. It names the team and the City of Santa Clara, where the stadium is located, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority as defendants.

49ers spokesman Bob Lange said the team does not comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit says the city failed to provide adequate restroom facilities or surveillance equipment in the

'That was one of the biggest things I congratulated him about this summer, one thing he got a lot of fiak for when he was in Philly was for not being an over-20-plus per-game scorer," Gordon said."He does a lotofthings out there that show up on the stat sheet and don't show up on the stat sheet. The opportunity for him to play well in the Finals and end up winning the MVP is a credit to him sticking with it and believing in his game."

Even if he was one of the league'sbest backups for the 67-win Warriors, Iguodala doesn't need any extra award for it. Now, if it happens, he would be thrilled.

"The guy was the MVP of the Finals and won a championship," Kerr said Tuesday.

"There's always a comfort level I would think that goes along with that. He's one of our best players, he set the tone last year with his unselfishness."

Iguodala's 8-year-old son, Andre Tyler II, is counting on his father to win the Finals' top honor again this season.

"My son has higher expectations for me, that's the curse ofthat, " Iguodala said with a grin. "You' re going to win it again next year.' He doesn't really get it."

At leastthe boy's father did all he could to prepare his body for the grind of another deeprun aRer aplayoff-shortened offseason. The 6-foot-6 swingman recently traveled to Germany to receive injections in his achy knees.

"The knees feel really good.

I' ve been dunking a lot lately, which I normally don't do in the offseason," the 12th-year veteran said.

Iguodala didn't even make his first start of the season until his 96th game — Game 4 of the Finals at Cleveland — and went off for 22 points with four 3-pointers and eight rebounds.

Now, he is prepared to do what he is most used to in Kerr's system: be a spark off the bench. It certainly suited him well even if he had been a starter for his entire career with Philadelphia and the Nuggets before making the switch last season.

Notes: G Leandro Barbosa is being delayed by visa issues back home in Brazil and is expected to join the Warriors in the next couple of days. ... Golden State' s first practice was just shy of two hours, and Kerr won' t be doing two-a-days. "Two-adays are overrated," he said.

"I will probably never do a two-a-day again in my life.

LA Dodgers clinch third straight NL West title SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Clayton Kershaw pitched the big-money Dodgers to their third straight NL West title, tossing a one-hitter as Los Angeles beat the San Francisco Giants 8-0 on Tuesday night.

Kershaw allowed just a third-inning single and struck out 18, and now he' ll get a chance to erase those sour postseason memories as the Dodgers (88-69) advance to face the NL East champion New York Mets in a best-offive Division Series.

Kershaw (16-7) finally got the best of his 2015 nemesis in the fourth matchup of the year against World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner, striking out the side in order three times and retiring the

final 19 batters as the Dodgers snapped a four-game losing streak.

"There's a little bit, if you don't win this one then you' ve got two more and you start getting a little nervous, you start panicking a little bit," Kershaw said. "We' ve still got something to play for. We' re

After the game, several Arizona defenders said the 49ers ofFense was simple to decipher, which puts them one step ahead of the 49ers coaches, who apparently have yet to decide what it is.

The main theme of all this:
